Student describes hiding in corner after bullet fired into Wolverhampton classroom
A student has described the terrifying moment she and her classmates hid in the corner after a shot was fired at their college.
The girl, who asked to remain anonymous, was sat in her English literature class at City of Wolverhampton College's in Paget Road when she heard a loud bang on Monday.
Her teacher initially said the noise was most likely a car but then a bullet pierced the classrooms window and hit the wall at the back, leaving plaster on the floor.
She said: "It was a normal lesson, then it was about 2.40pm and we heard two big bangs and my teacher said she thought it was a car stalling but then it shot through the window and we were all told to go into the corner.
"Luckily it went straight through the middle of the room and hit the pillar closest to the wall.
"On the floor was piece of plaster and a little metal capsule, it was quite scary.
"We were shocked because we thought it was a car, it was just like something banging, then the teacher told us to move into a corner.
